Top Dressing

A good top-dressing service can be a vital factor in making long-term improvements to the health and appearance of your lawn.

The soil in your garden plays a major part in the development of your lawn. Thin, sandy soils and heavy clay soils are not ideal for lawns, but top dressing services can alter the nature of your top soil and significantly improve the growing conditions. The right mixture of top dressing will complement and gradually change the properties of your existing soil. Top dressing services also:

 Increase soil aeration
 Improve surface drainage
 Protect newly seeded areas of your lawn
 Control & reduce the overall build-up of thatch
 Fill in joists between newly laid turf
 Encourage greater rooting
 Stimulate grass growth

Specialist lawn top dressing service for your garden

Top dressing is labour-intensive work, and sourcing the right kind of top dressing can be difficult and expensive once you factor in delivery costs. To cover 1 square metre of soil, you’ll need approximately 5kg of top dressing. Grass seed can also be added to thicken up the lawn.
